Abstract
Study of strange particle production in nuclear collisions is one of the most important items of the physics program of the MPD experiment. As previously demonstrated on simulated data, the detector will provide good conditions for reconstruction of strange particles via their weak decays to charged products in the collider mode of NICA operation. In this study, it is shown that the detector will be capable of successfully reconstructing strange particle decays also in the fixed-target mode. This allows one to extend the experiment coverage to lower energies comparable with the energy range of the BM@N experiment. The simulated results on strange particle production study at the MPD experiment in both the collider and fixed-target modes are presented.
期刊介绍:
The journal Fizika Elementarnykh Chastits i Atomnogo Yadr of the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research (JINR, Dubna) was founded by Academician N.N. Bogolyubov in August 1969. The Editors-in-chief of the journal were Academician N.N. Bogolyubov (1970–1992) and Academician A.M. Baldin (1992–2001). Its English translation, Physics of Particles and Nuclei, appears simultaneously with the original Russian-language edition. Published by leading physicists from the JINR member states, as well as by scientists from other countries, review articles in this journal examine problems of elementary particle physics, nuclear physics, condensed matter physics, experimental data processing, accelerators and related instrumentation ecology and radiology.
